- Retinal is therefore a key player that triggers a series of activation in phototransduction (see figure below). Phototransduction in photoreceptor cells Disc membrane 1000000000…………………………. Disc lumen Light Rhodopsin GDP Transducin Photoreceptor cytosol GTP GTP GTP PDE CGMP CGMP inhibition CGMP GMP PDE6i GMP GMP Extracellular environment Plasma membrane 1. Light hits the retinal molecule and changes into an all-trans configuration 2. This change in the retinal conformation activates the rhodopsin photoreceptor 3. The rhodopsin photoreceptor then activates a specific heterotrimeric G protein called transducin. 4. The transducin then activates a downstream protein called PDE. Both PDE and the transducin G protein are attached to the plasma membrane by a lipid anchor. This makes them close to each other and facilitates the activation of PDE by the transducin G protein. The activity of the protein PDE can itself be regulated. It can for example be inhibited by a drug called PDE6i. 7.

It was his first bee sting, and this event provideda tearful conclusion to the family’s outing.The next day, the painof the cut and bee sting subsided, but Gary developed a rash onhis abdomen.The family physician prescribed a cortisone cream for Gary’srash and said that antihistamines wouldn’t help the rash.The doctor told Gary’s mom not to worry about the cut, because theboy had fortunately been given a tetanus vaccine only 6 monthsearlier. However, Gary was stung by a bee two months later, and thistime developed a severe swelling.The doctor prescribed antihistamine treatment for this, which did…arrow_forward
